“I saw children running screaming from school. The parents came, they were in a panic. Later, I heard three shots,” one student told RTS. According to his classmates, the arrested person had attended a birthday party the day before, where he behaved seemingly normally. “He had very good grades in everything, so we called him a nerd”, the student pointed out, writes the newspaper Blic. The Ministry of Education has already opened an investigation in this regard.

Help is being provided to the injured, and the police are working to establish the facts and circumstances related to the event.it is stated in the press release of the ministry.

Local media reports that numerous emergency vehicles are nearby, as well as numerous police officers with special intervention teams. The area around the Vladislav Ribnikar school, near the center of Belgrade, is blocked while the evacuation of students who were in the building at the time of the attack is being carried out.

The fifth country with the most weapons in the hands of civilians

Shootings are not very common in Serbia, especially in student neighborhoods. But after the war in Yugoslavia in the 1990s, many of the participants kept the weapons they fought with. Research conducted by the Small Arms Survey, associated with Swiss academia, puts Serbia in fifth place in the world with the most weapons in the hands of civilians. More precisely, 37 per 100 inhabitants.

The country, however, has a very restrictive weapon policy, whereby the acquisition of weapons must be done on the black market and illegally.
